Chapter 902 Promise
Jared had to break through the Transcendence Phase as soon as possible, enter the Core Formation Phase, and cultivate his elixir field. By then, his powers would increase several folds.
When that happens, Jared would also be equivalent to a Martial Arts Grandmaster. With the Dragonslayer Sword in his hand, he might have the power to fight with the strongest Martial Arts Grandmaster.
With Jared’s current strength, he wouldn’t stand a chance against a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
“Mr. Gordon must have seen many kinds of treasures, so he wouldn’t be interested in a mere draconic essence.”
Theodore began to flatter Warren.
“General Jackson, you don’t have to flatter me. Indeed, I’m not interested in the draconic essence, but you do know what I like. I hope you can keep your promise.”
Warren didn’t become complacent after Theodore’s flattery. Instead, he spoke coldly.
Theodore paused for a second and nodded. “I will keep my promise. However, about Mr. Chance-”
“Don’t worry. I will send a notice to all the clans in the name of the martial arts association. No one will be allowed to harm Jared before the international competition. After all, Jared is representing Chanaea!” Warren assured them.
Theodore was delighted to hear that. “Thank you so much, Mr. Gordon.”
As long as the major clans didn’t cause any trouble for Jared before the competition, he could secretly send Jared out of the capital after the competition, and Jared would be able to hide anywhere.
Warren glanced at Jared again, stood up, and left. While he was leaving, Warren flicked his finger and shot a beam of white light into Jared’s body.
Jared was startled. He hurriedly tried to force the white light out of his body, but he couldn’t find the white light in his body even after circulating his spiritual energy.
“Mr. Gordon-”
Theodore was all flustered. He didn’t understand why Warren would attack Jared after assuring his safety.
“You don’t have to panic. I just branded him. He won’t be allowed to leave the capital until I get what I want.”
Warren left immediately after he finished.
Jared frowned slightly. He searched throughout his body again but couldn’t find the brand.
“No wonder he’s a Martial Arts Grandmaster. He’s really amazing.”
Jared could only watch helplessly as the old man branded him. He couldn’t stop it, and he couldn’t even find a trace of the brand. Their gap in strength was simply too huge.
After sending Warren off, Theodore walked back and said, “Mr. Chance, you don’t have to worry anymore. Now that the Warriors Alliance has spoken, all the other clans won’t dare to try anything against you for the time being-”
“General Jackson, what did you promise him?”
Jared knew that Warren only helped him because Theodore agreed to his request.
“It’s nothing. You just focus on preparing for the competition. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Theodore decided to not tell him.
Jared didn’t question him any further as well. He didn’t know anything about the complicated network of relations in Jadeborough, so it would be useless even if he had asked.
The next day, the Warriors Alliance posted a message on the martial arts forum.
“Jared has joined the Department of Justice and will participate in the international competition in a few days. Before the competition, no clans or individuals will be allowed to trouble Jared, no matter what personal grudges and hatreds you may have against him…”
The message spread like wildfire. When Jared fought Xander and killed him, he became one of the hottest topics on the forums for a moment. However, only a part of them knew about him, and many martial arts masters ignored him. After all, it was a battle of inferior strength, and they weren’t interested at all.
